Can the Honda be a considered a reasonable alternative to the Terra . The Husky dealers in ontario seem to have become extinct and i am wonderring if its worth going to the states or a different province to get one and then worry about service.
Go to Cameron Cycle in Peterborough. They will have them in the showroom come spring, units are in Canada. These guys are a long established reputable dealer and well worth the ride. The honda will have lest power, suspension and is a Honda. The Honda will be a great bike but not the same thing. Cheers
i did mean cb500x looks like i am dating myself with a reference to the cbx thank for catching the error.
I just did a quick search, no biggie. I did see that at the MC show I went to, it would be on my short list with the tr650 & one other which I forget at the moment. I *think* someone told me that bike had 1/2 of a car engine 1L in it? Something like that...
To do what? To ride where? First the engine; you're comparing a 500cc Honda vs a 650cc Husky, you should maybe look at the NC700X which is a 670cc for a better match? Second for what purpose; if you look at the pictures you can see that the Terra is a heavy dual purpose bike where the 500/700X are a light adventure bikes....not the same, you'll be able to go a lot deeper into the bush with the Terra but will be more comfortable if staying on road with the X's If you're asking about the Strada vs the NC700X then that's a different story... I haven't seen the Strada but I've seen the NC700X and its a pretty bike, done very smartly
The TR650 can be taken off road for some exploring, those two hondas not so much. Also the Hondas are both twins. The DR650 is more like the Tr650.
